[Ggcs-presentations] Newsletter - Hold the Presses

[steve at shank.net]

Hi all,

I noticed that the Meetup announcement for the March GM could use some improvement as it seemed like a duplicate of the recent healthcare talk, so Babette is editing it now.
Also, I never saw the announcement before it went to Meetup or to the newsletter, but Barbara says they are identical.

So, Heinz, please hold off on sending the newsletter, as we may be revising the GM announcement portion.

If you got a Meetup announcement today about a March 15 general meeting on Apple devices with Michael Luchesi, that was a mistake and the Meetup has been cancelled.

Thanks,
Steve

TECHNOLOGY TIPS FOR MANAGING FAMILY HEALTHCARE

Presenters: Linda Siegel & Babette Bloch Technology can help you to be a partner, not just a patient, with your medical team.
In this presentation, Linda and Babette will share tools and resources to help you manage your own, or your loved ones, healthcare. They will cover tips (and pitfalls) of technology that can help you manage chronic and difficult healthcare challenges, such as:

• How can you communicate effectively with your medical team and with the other family/friends providing care and making decisions?
• What are the key documents to prepare in advance?
• Where can you find reliable information online to help?
• How can you keep track (and share) all the information without being overwhelmed?
• How can you keep others informed and get help that is truly helpful?
• And finally, dealing with healthcare is a life long process, so they will share some software applications to help take your mind off your health!
